the magic of lowered expectations

Earlier this afternoon, I filled up my water bottle (with tap water) and then left it on my desk on my way somewhere else. Just now I noticed it and this was the actual thought that went through my head: Oh, yeah! I have water! and I was really, inordinately, disproportionately happy.

Work has done this to me. Imagine how I would feel if I found something genuinely cool and unexpected, like some licorice.

I'm having this silly frakkin day. Better to just leave it, though. Just keep Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake comin', iPod. It's almost the weekend, Elune be praised.
